LITTLE BOY BLUE.

The soft woolly sheep are knee deep in the msa
dow,
The Alumsy old cows In the corn,
The little lambs bleat
As they list for your feet,
Boy Blue! Boy Bluei
As they wait for your step in the morn.
The little bird swings on q bough by the window
And chirps TO her young in the nest,
And the butterdy's wings
Are the daintiest things,
Boy Blue. Boy Bluel
For he's dressed himself ell in his best
The little brown partridge, so brisk and so saucy,
Calls out to his neighbor, Bob white"
And his poor little mate,
Who Is sleeping too late,
Boy Blue! Boy Blue.
Answers, Peas are not ripe-no, not gutter
Why, even the leaves in the sunlight are dancing
And loud is the woodpecker's tap;
He shakes his small head
At the wee one In bed,
Boy Bluel Boy BlueI
At the lazy boy taking his nap.
The roses are waiting, the Iiliss are waiting,
So fresh from their bath In the dew;
Then open your eyes
To the light OF the skies,
Boy BiueI Boy Bluei
For the whole world Is waiting for you.

One obstacle that has stood in the way
of planting that exotic, the telegraph pole,
In Chinese soil has been the widespread
belief among the peasantry that the
strange whispering wires they support
when strung along near graveyards exert
baleful influence upon the long sleep Of
their revered ancestors. As nearly every
hilltop in China is crowned by the tombs
Of lamented forefathers, it has been very
difficult to select routes for telegraph
lines where the wires were not likely to
fall a prey to the popular prejudice against
them. 1t is noteworthy that the great
telegraph line which is to connect Pekin
with Europe viii take short cut to the
Cobb desert, and viii pass through less
than 800 miles of inhabited country in the
900 miles to Kiachta, where it win Join

How spider. srOui..

When spider is preparing to moult It
stops eating for several days and fastens
itself by short line Of web to one of the
main lines Of its snare, which holds It
firmly while it proceeds 10 undress. The
skin cracks all around the thorax, and Is
held only by the front edges Next the abb
domen is uncovered. Now comes the strug-
gle TO free the legs. It works and kicks
vigorously and seems to have very hard
work, but continued perseverance for
about fifteen minutes brings il out Of the

is limp and helpless for several minutes,
but gradually comes back to life and looks
brighter and prettier than before. Swiss
